Transcript written on test.log. --------------------------- My file just contain the sentence "This is a test" with "This" and "is" as text entries. I don't know why I got the above errors but it works! The problem is the comma that separates the index entry from the page number has disappeared which render the index table somewhat ugly. I mean in the index written This1 instead of This, 1 Will you please help me resolve it? -- Munzir Taha, Telecommunications and Electronics Engineer, Certified Internet Webmaster, (CIW), Microsoft Office User Specialist, (MOUS), New Horizons Computer Learning Centers, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
